At an October hearing, some lawmakers wondered if including the language of the legal shield would bind Congress' hands on future revisions.
"There are concerns in the House about enshrining the increasingly controversial Section 230 liability shield in our trade agreements, particularly at a time when Congress is considering whether changes need to be made in U.S. law," a spokesperson for Pelosi told CNBC.
Pallone and the top Republican on the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Greg Walden of Oregon, wrote ato U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer in August saying it was "inappropriate for the United States to export language mirroring Section 230 while such serious policy discussions are ongoing. For that reason, we do not believe any provision regarding intermediary liability protections of the type created by Article 19.17 are ripe for inclusion in any trade deal going forward.
Some lawmakers worried about the implication of including language from Section 230 in trade agreements, fearing that it would make the law harder to revise in the future. Executive director of the Alliance to Counter Crime Online Gretchen Peters testified that including such language in trade agreements is "problematic because it potentially is going to tie Congress' hands from reforming the bill down the line, and that's precisely why industry is pushing to have it inside the trade deals."
